Kids Week is Back!

Kids Week is an amazing initiative which runs every summer welcoming families into the West End to see shows at discounted prices.

During Kids Week, which this year actually runs 6 whole weeks, a child can go to selected performances of any participating show for free when they’re accompanied by a paying adult. 

How does it work?

  • A child aged 17 and under goes free when accompanied by an adult paying full price. Parents can also purchase two additional children's tickets for half price. 
  • This year, Kids Week performances will run from Monday 21st July -  Sunday 31st August 2025!
